Question
You push a shopping cart full of groceries. The shopping cart has a mass of 32
kg.
a. What is the weight of your shopping cart?
b. How much force must you apply to give the cart an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2?
c. If you push with a force of 200 N, what is the acceleration of the cart?
d. You are driving home from the store. If your car has an acceleration of 4.1 m/s2 and its engine is applying a forward force of 7000 N, what is the mass of your car?

Answer:
a) 320N (if you take gravity as 10ms^-2) or 313.6N (if you take gravity as 9.8ms^-2
b) 41.6N
c) 6.25ms^-2
d) 1707.317 kg
Explanation:
a) W=mg
W= 32 x 10 or 9.8
W = 320N or 313.6N
b) F=ma
F= 32 x 1.3
F= 41.6N
c) F=ma
200 = 32 x a
a= 6.25ms^-2
d) F=ma
7000= m x 4.1
m= 1707.317 kg
I am not completely sure about the d) part because I dont whether you will be taking Friction and Normal Reaction too. As per my knowledge, I think no, as no angles nor the gradient of the floor/road is mentioned here.
